Gimmick, or Best Wireless Earbuds? | JBL Tour Pro 3 Buds Review

Показать описание
Reviewing the JBL Tour Pro 3 True Wireless Earbuds, boasting a smart charging case with built-in display. These are some of the most expensive buds of 2024 but are the JBL Tour Pro 3 also the best? I've been testing these noise cancelling TWS earbuds for a week now so here's my review!

The USP of these Bluetooth earphones is of course the touchscreen display on the charging case, same as last generation. This allows you to tweak the ANC, audio and general settings of the JBL Tour Pro 3 TWS buds without opening the phone app. However, the screen is a bit fiddly at times. You've also got notification support and, more impressively, can plug that case into airplane entertainment systems and other devices. This allows you to stream audio to the JBL Tour Pro 3 earbuds, so you don't need to use wired headphones.

Sound quality is solid if not truly competitive vs the Sony and Technics buds. Noise cancellation works well (you have adaptive ANC) while the battery life is among the best I've recently reviewed in 2024. But is the JBL Tour Pro 3 really worth just under £300? Personally, I'd be hesitant to spend that money on these earbuds when the Sony WF true wireless earbuds, Technics, etc are cheaper.

The ability to wirelessly transmit audio using the case is a win for those who travel a lot. This means not having to carry an AirFly Pro that is good but suffers from a slight audio lag. I would be interested to test if these have any audio lag when using the wirelessly transmission

Shouldn't say the price so close to the start of the video. Everything in my body is screaming "stop watching this doesn't matter to you"

I have them. They sound really quite a bit better then the sony's and technics. The 2 driver hardware in them is just from a really great level and they are sonically capable of things that the limited driver reach is not possible in the other mentioned brands. The sennheiser does a pretty good job as well bit also lack that huge dynamic range coming from this driver synergy!

I remember when people were saying that this feature was coming to the new AirPods

4:30 - Why on earth would you tuck away your phone in favor of the charging case in the first place?

The Nothing buds do me proud. Half the price of the JBLs. P.S. What's with the hotel lobby music? I thought l was in the Holiday Inn for a moment 😅

Ok so I think many people are missing the screen on the buds. It is very useful for so many important things. One, JBL has no windows app. So case allows for all the perks of the app in the case itself. I use mine for both windows and my phone. Two, it is much faster than taking out your phone, unlocking it, finding the app, logging into the app and then changing the settings. The app is literally on the case itself. And this last one, seriously important. The battery of the device and individual earbuds.

I must say those features and technology sound really good. Too bad is a tad bit expensive… looking forward to see those at more reasonable price point. Cheers and thanks for the video!

I don't get the concept... Why would you use the case for such stuff? Smartwatch or the touch controls are not enough (if the smartphone is not / cannot be used)? JBL marketing probably needs a shakeup...
I love my Huawei Freebuds Pro 3. And they were much cheaper plus they don't look that plastic... 3h max with ANC on and 7-8 h without they are super, extremely fast charging in the case and a great equalizer in the app! Uncle sold me on those less than a year ago great choice!

Good on JBL for pre-loading that background on the display. 🤣

It's kind of a shame that a lot of the focus is on the case for these earbuds. Because the sound and ANC performance is really top notch. It would be great if we had a choice to buy them with a regular case for a lower price. Just my opinion. Nice review thank you. 💯👍🇺🇸

Really tempted to buy them but the price is a little crazy I listen to a lot of dubstepy bassey drum and bass music would this sound good I feel the case is more worked on than the headphones itself is that the case?

I just don't get why the ear-tip opening isn't oval? It's so much more comfortable.

I have Samsung pro older model. I have small ear canals and have never been able to find ones that fit without my ears hurting after an hour. Considering going for over ear headphones but they are so big and chunky. I use earphones 85% af the time for listening to books. Do you have any suggestions? 🤗

For 200 would you consider it a good price? Are they better than the Airpods Pro 2 in sound?
